Mark Zuckerberg clears his head by surfing every day

According to a report by the New York Post, Mark Zuckerberg likes to surf early in the morning. He explained in the interview that going through the emails first thing in the morning messes up his mind and he sometimes “struggles to cope with getting punched by bad news.” Hence, to respite his mind in the morning, he goes out into the sea. 

Besides surfing his stress away, he explained, “When you’re out there in the water, it’s pretty hard to focus on anything else”. The Harvard alumnus rides a hydrofoil board that helps him surf above the water. Being on the water ripples for some time in the morning brings him solace and helps clear his mind to get started for the day.
